In our last installment, Sabrina agreed to try disappearing with Johnny. As always, your thoughts are appreciated! :) Johnny says nothing about disappearing for almost a week, and I find myself wondering if he’d forgotten. Then he meets me on the stairs one night after my shift and grabs my hands, so excited he’s vibrating. [...]

Quite pleased with the way this is coming along now! In our last installment, Sabrina had come home to find her boyfriend with four other people in the apartment, all sitting in silence and trying to disappear. As always, your thoughts and comments are appreciated! When my phone rings into the darkness of the bedroom, [...]

I dodge the hoards of well-heeled travelers clogging O’Hare and make my way towards the Blue line. Things are a bit calmer here – the majority of people who fly back into Chicago immediately after Christmas have cars to drive home in or the money for cabs. I lean against a concrete pillar to wait [...]

Finally! Even with an outline, this took some turns that I totally wasn’t expecting. Not to mention a whole new character – Charlie wasn’t even a suggestion in my initial notes. :D Here we have the end of scene 3. Sabrina’s father has just dropped her off in the restaurant for her “date.” Enjoy! And, [...]

I’ve been traveling for the past week, and I’ve discovered that airports are not particularly conducive to writing. Especially not when one is flying standby and has to keep track of open seats and various color coded screens to figure out whether or not to board the plane. Excellent trip, but damn, was it stressful [...]

I really need a title for this. Anyone have any suggestions? There’s probably more to scene 3 – at the moment I have it extending over the week that Sabrina’s visiting her family. But I didn’t want to post too much at once, and I have to figure out how to pack six days worth [...]

I need to start brainstorming titles for these… any suggestions? One thing to note before I post the next scene – I’ve changed tenses. This story seems like it will have much more kick in the present tense, so I’m giving it a shot today. I’d love to hear your feedback! When we left off, [...]

Lots of time spent wrestling with characters behind the scenes, lately. My apologies for the radio silence, but I figured that the hammering out of tiddly details would probably be boring to read. :D That being said, I’ve started writing the Psychic Exploration plot! Not much of it, yet – I’m experimenting with Scrivner [...]

Hello! Still sleeping a lot, but I seem to be on the mend. I wrote a new short story! And I have the next step of the Snowflake process for you! I’m adapting the process a bit – for one, I’ve got more than 30 secondary characters making up the various communities in Thrae, and [...]

So, this step in the Snowflake Method involves expanding your paragraph summary to a full page, and says that it’s ok to go longer. That’s good, cause I went longer… quite a bit longer! I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of this. :) Sabrina always thought she was normal. Sure, she starts to [...]
